I haven’t captured a picture of my kids this week because they have scaled the walls. They would have been on their way to hang from the ceiling fan if I didn’t bribe them to come down once I saw the forecast for the week. It went something like, I think we can take the wagon out of hibernation this week!! Mallory lit up with excitement. Thank God, I think spring is finally on its way here.

We watched the weather last night and Bel informed us that we will lose about 2-3 inches of snow each day with the warmer temperatures. I quickly did the math (without a calculator: check stellar) and in a record thirty some days the five foot snow bank that has swallowed our newish tree in our front yard will be completely gone. What a great May Day we will be able to celebrate on the green grass under the shade of our tiny tree.

Happy melting season!

Soon to follow: pictures of us enjoying the wagon rides down the sidewalk. Who will be riding and who will be pushing/pulling? That is still up for debate around here.

Why Do I blog?

Welcome. Why do I blog? I blog for my two little girls so that when I am long gone, soaking up guilt-free sun rays, laying on a big fluffy cloud up in Heaven, they can remember. They can remember the simple things. The little things. Those things that are small to everyone else, but mighty to this mommy's heart. I want my children to know that not only the major milestones were remembered, but also the little milestones. Her first bike ride, her first bee sting, the first time she planted seeds in the garden. They will both know, not only were they loved deeply, but also the magnitude of that depth. Why not just journal? Because part of me hopes that in my day to day writing, someone out there in this mighty World can relate. Can relate to one little thing that runs through all of us--the desire to remember the times that made us laugh, smile, cry and most importantly, treasure our loved ones.

Making the decision to have a child is momentous. It is to decide forever to have your heart go walking around outside your body.

About Me

I am a 33 year old stay at home mom. I am married to a wonderful man, Brent. Our journey over the past 7+ years has challenged us in more ways than we ever thought possible. Now we sit on the other side with two beautiful daughters. A fun loving and bright 6 year old and an adventerous and happy 3 year old. Each day they continue to bring us joy, amazement, and numerous opportunities of learning as we grow as parents. Our snuggly mutt Lucy hates being at the bottom of the family totem pole. She enjoys having her tummy rubbed, chewing on sticks and loves anyone who will scratch her ears. It’s all about loving and learning as we travel the road we call life.
I hope you enjoy my thoughts and my feeble attempts at humor as I try and navigate my way through marriage and motherhood…
